I have Whitney lineage on BOTH sides of my mother's side of the family. While my focus is on locating the ancestors of Ephraim Bennett Whitney, 2nd great grandfather on my mother's side, my mother left me her search in her DAR membership on her mothers side. She has proven that our heritage goes back to the original John Whitney.

Feel free, and I beg for assistance in locating my Whitney lineages.
